About YiChing
YiChing Trenkamp is an LPC based in Louisiana who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship or parenting strain. She works with individuals and couples to sort through life changes and difficult moments. YiChing offers a calm, listening presence aimed at understanding what matters to each person.
She keeps sessions focused and practical. Conversations look at current patterns, what gets in the way, and small steps that can make daily life easier.
Background and approach
YiChing draws on tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to name unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to clarify values and build actions that match what clients care about. Emotional connection is part of the work too.
Client-Centered and Emotionally-Focused Therapy approaches guide how she attends to feelings and relationship dynamics. For people who struggle with intense emotions or impulsivity, Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are available to develop coping strategies and distress tolerance. YiChing meets people where they are.
She aims to create a supportive space to slow down and notice what’s happening. That can include exploring identity, grief, parenting stress, addiction concerns, eating issues, or multicultural and immigration-related stresses. She offers therapy in English and Mandarin.
Her practice perspective blends skill-building with deeper emotional work so clients can move toward clearer goals and better daily functioning.
How therapy approaches translate online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice what truly matters to them and then take small, actionable steps that align with those values. It is often helpful for anxiety, life transitions, and motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical exercises to challenge unhelpful thinking and try new actions for mood and anxiety problems. Emotionally-Focused Therapy emphasizes understanding emotions and relationship patterns to improve connection and communication in close relationships.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with clients about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they will try approaches and adjust the plan as progress and needs become clearer.
The practical benefit of online therapy is fitting care into everyday life. Confirm the therapist's current session options before booking. Many people find remote work lets them schedule sessions more easily around work, school, or caregiving, and it can reduce travel time. Other practical advantages include the ability to use shorter check-ins when needed, or to choose audio-only sessions when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Licensed professionals can tailor online work to focus on skill practice, behavioral experiments, emotional processing, or relationship conversations while keeping each session focused on the client's goals.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
